-Who are you and how are you doing?
My name's Anders, but my friends call me Ty. I'm a grad student in Tokyo but originally from the US. School's about to start so I am STOKED.

-How often do you tend to post?

Depends on the game. One game has a pretty relaxed posting rate, so that's usually every couple of days. Most of my games are at least once a week.

-What kind of tone are you looking for in this game?

I like varied tones. My two favorite non-dnd-esque RPGs are Unknown Armies and Paranoia, so it's not like I can't be both grim and humorous, but Jade Regent lends itself to a bit of both, from my understanding.

-What do you expect out of your fellow players?

I'm not a huge fan of people who get super-duper invested in individual characters, where character conflict becomes player conflict or vice-versa, though PBP does little of that. Once played an IRL game with two people who were dating and going through a rough patch and everything was just super awkward.

-What do you expect out of me (the GM)?

Just stick around. More than one game I've had has had GMs bail. It's, like, negative fun.

-What is your comfort zone? Where's the line for you in RP terms?

Just don't describe super sexual stuff "on-screen" and you won't run into problems with me unless it's supposed to be like somehow eldritch and cthuhlu-esque. If something has sexual elements to it and it's supposed to be creepy then go ahead and be as vulgar as you want to be. However, use that stuff like habanero sauce: a tiny bit can really kick things into gear, but a bunch just makes things painful and gross.

-How do you see your character progressing as a character?

Come the start of the actual "god almighty she's an empress" part, I think he'll do a very large shift in characterization. He's a soldier who wants to make himself useful to something but at the start of the AP doesn't know what.
